In June, the California Institution for Women (CIW) Honor Guard team assisted with the Los Angeles Southwest Community College graduation ceremony.
The commencement was hosted by the college and the facilitator requested the Honor Guard present the colors at the beginning of the ceremony.
Always happy to help the community, the CIW Honor Guard performed the necessary services as requested and posted the US flag and California state flag. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a vocalist singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
The event was held on the college football field with thousands in attendance.
After the ceremonial services, college staff shared their appreciation and gratitude to CDCR, CIW, and the Honor Guard team for assisting them in their time of need.
The Honor Guard members said they appreciate the support of CIW administration.
